Event Clothing... Golden Globed 2014

Here we are.. first blog post of 2014... a long time coming....

So before getting into all the little things happening with me, or the things I would like to GRIPE about, or the MUST HAVE FINDS we shall begin with a bang, GOLDEN GLOBE red carpet review!!!

Drum roll please... and we are off!

Alison Williams in Alexander McQueen was boring for me.  She has an incredible body and has worn some great pieces so this was just boring and safe for me.  It is TV's biggest night, bring out the big guns.  Side note, GIRLS is back and I am BEYOND happy about it!

Amber Heard, WOW... stunning!  That midnight blue was radiant.  Now granted you may be looking at this picture and thinking I am smoking something but perhaps this wasn't the most flattering angle, but va va voom!

Aubrey Plaza did what I love, took a chance in Oscar de la Renta!  Purple, lilac and pink, so fresh!  Also, this is the first sighting of the trend of the night, the modified hem line showing the shoes.  Aside from being pregnant this was the top trend of the carpet.

And speaking of pregnant and hemlines, Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhuiller.  It is not my favorite but could have been a lot worse.  Let's just say she wears that pregnant glow amazingly well.

My girl, Jennifer Lawrence in Dior.  Sadly this was not thrilling.  This girl has way my sartorial class than most and this dress was average.  It is already being mocked all over the internet with duvets and electrical tape.  I am hoping she played this down so her Oscar dress will seem UNREAL.  Fingers crossed.

Ever the classic Julia Roberts in Dolce and Gabbana.  Effortless and timeless is what this look was.  Ageless perhaps.  Her makeup was fantastic, a nice dark eye.

Julianna Margulies in Andrew Gn knocked my socks off.  The proportions and the deep V, thumbs up!

Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera left me perplexed.  This is when a tiny petite girl gets her proportions wrong.  The sleeves were too big for her frame, but A++ for the colours and the velvet.  Stunning dress just maybe not for her.

Newlywed funny gal Kaley Cuoco in this printed Rani Zakhem was a beautiful sight!  I loved it, classic feminine beauty with a twist.  Also look closely she did a great GREEN eye makeup that brought out the subtly hues of the dress. 

Kate Beckinsale in Zuhair Murad proving she is still the sex pot with the mostest.  Fun fact!  The zipper in the dress broke in the limo and she was late on arrival to the carpet and she had to be sewn into this super tight dress... imagine what happens when she has to pee...lol

Pregnant Kerry Washington in a custom Balenciaga was gorgeous.  She let the bump to do all the talking!

IT girl Lena Dunham in the amazingly bright Zac Posen is her stepping up her carpet game!  The corset work on Posen's dresses are magical, and it worked its magic on her curves.  She is getting hit hard in the press with thumbs down but I really do/did like it.

Proving the peplum is here to stay Leslie Mann wore Dolce and Gabbana and she wore it well.  Always a lady she is.

Melissa McCarthy in her own design left me going.. ugh why!  Love her, love her choices 90% of the time but this dress was too much fabric for me.  Just felt she could have done better than a graduation gown with a fancy drapey scarf.

My new obsession Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta.  The colour was too muted for me but the dress flatters her sooo well.  *trend alert

Resse Witherspoon is a sporty femme fatale in this dress.  This Calvin Klein dress colour is a stand out.

Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung is in my top picks.  It was just so different! *trend alert

Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen was meh.  However, that necklace, I die!  The necklace canceled out my lack luster appeal of the dress.

At first glance I thought Tina Fey's dress was a flamingo pattern and I was THRILLED, cause how awesome would that be.  Then I noticed it was flowers, boo ..lol  But really, great dress!

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta gets major major fashion props for making a crop top acceptable for black tie fare.  Hello who does that!  Love this girl!  *trend alert

Elizabeth Moss in J Mendal was amazing!  This is in my very top favorites.  Sexy, feminine, daring and yet that cranberry colour is so classic.  Hands down a winner for sure!  *trend alert

Now Emma Watson in Dior is getting mixed reviews.  This twenty year old pushed the envelope and I LOVED it!  How daring yet classic is this apron dress with pants!  She makes me want to rip the back out of a dress and rock this all summer long!  I would totally suggest this outfit for a wedding guest this Summer... knock out.

SHOCKINGLY not getting much attention is Lizzy Caplan in Emillio Pucci.  The lines of the gold beading is an amazing silhouette.

Ok, confession time.  I have no clue who this is, or what she is wearing, but that blue is gorgeous!  Makes me think my closet needs more robins egg blue in it!  *trend alert

 

Lupita Nyong'o  in Ralph Lauren.  Although she looked amazing, that skin, all I thoguht is Gwenyth did it before.

Margot Robbie in Oscar de le Renta was breathtaking.  Something about emerald green and white is always amazing.  Loved her shoes!  Oh ps, you HAVE to go see Wolf on Wall Street, it is vulgar and long but 100% amazing!

IF I am ever pregnant I want to be completely in cased in green sequins.  I am officially jealous of a pregnant lady! Oliva Munn made everyone green with envy in this Gucci dress.

Rashida Jones in this super unique Fatso Puglisi dress made me realize that no matter the event her personality will shine.  An unusual choice but it works!

Well I think that post went well... the 2014 Friends in my Closet blogging has begun!!!  Hope you liked my picks, if you did or didn't leave a comment below!  Chat on Facebook and Tweet me!!!

Love you all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Event Clothing... Golden Globes 2013

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler killed it as hosts.. Ben Afleck's ARGO sweeps the Globes.. Adele makes first post baby experience.. and Jodi Foster BLEW my mind!  And my new fav show, GIRLS stole the cake as the newbie-underdog... Just a mini-recap of the show stopping Golden Globes that happened last night.

I love awards season.

Now to the FASHION... without a doubt MANY trends kept popping up among the stars.

Simple relaxed hair with minimal makeup and jewellery.
Everyone thought people were going to wear colours, so lots of ladies opted to wear black.  So by default it became a trend.
High slits, backless dresses and cutouts were in plenty.
Lace, lace, lace and more lace! 
Column dresses.. less pouf more slender silhouettes.

Kerry Washington is my favorite of the night.  Hands down.  A relaxed look with hair and makeup draws your eyes to the un-real detailing on this dress.  I mean, WOW!

Lots of chatter happened when she walked the carpet in the world in terms of the breasts on this dress.  The 3D crum catcher was a HIGH FASHION risk.  

A first I was under-whelmed, however more I looked at it more I liked it. 

Nicole Ritchie in sky blue lace.  Classic.  With the long sleeve she was effortlessly timeless.

 And there it is, the dress that will be encapsulated in time.  Julianne Moore in Tom Ford.  On the carpet she said, she sent him an email and said design me a dress and did he EVER!  When she stepped out of the limo I gasped, yes gasped alone in my living room.  

That is what the right dress can do, it can literally take your breathe away.  

I want to be her when I grow up, stunning and elegant while wearing Tom Ford; 

 oh the dreams I have!

Adele always in black and who can blame her it when it looks like that! 

And she just had a baby! c'mon!

Katherine McPhee was the SEX-POT of the night.  The leg, the boobs, the satin, amazing!!  Wearing her hair up was the best choice it was very New York and very Fashionable.  Vogue would be proud.

Naomi Watts in the top colour of fall Oxblood.  Loved the movement of the train and the keyhole back added sex-appeal that only a backless dress can do.

Claire Danes, she had a kid a month ago so no matter what she wore she was going to look amazing!

That ruching to the side was super flattering.  The colour, red and the cut of the dress column, and the styling, simple she hit all the top trends.

 Debra Messing makes this list because I loved the heaviness of her stacked bangles.  Something about the cuff look on both wrists I adore.  Sometimes MORE is better!  lol

 Isla Fisher in simple, nude and classic.  Great look.   The berry lip was a perfect choice.

Marion Cotillard proves why French women never fail in the fashion department.  What I love most about this outfit is the leopard clutch!  Animal print on a red carpet like NEVER happens.  Love that unexpected twist with the simple hair and dress.

Olivia Munn Would be in my top 5 for the night for wearing this UNREAL Armani dress, if it wasn't for the earrings and necklace.  They just do not suit the dress.  Either she should have worn her hair down with a bracelet, or up like she has it with a stunner of an earring.  

But that is just my two sense!..lol

Kate Hudson took my breathe away.  The gold collar on this dresses is unreal!!  The gold appliques placed to look like a belt, I mean please.  This is what people at the top of the fashion pole look like!

Amanda Seyfried kept up with what everyone was doing last night and was not a SUPER standout.  What I would like to point out is the simple 'tie clip' at the top of this dress.  Just that simple line of gold stands out on this dress in the best way possible.  Also, can I please have those gold locks?!?! lol

Amy Adams is brighter then anyone in colour in this lace mermaid!  She said on the carpet it was 'ballet' pink, and no matter what the colour it hits her in all the right places  

And I loved her finger rolled hair to the side!

Jessica Chastain in seafoam and backless is a game changer for her.  She always picks the best dresses and this was no exception.  High Class!  She is quite frankly one of the most elegant women in Hollywood right now.  So with that said, I hated her hair! hahaha loved it long and with the curls, did not enjoy the part at the front with almost a dinosaur back type thing to the sides.  Best way I could describe it..lol

Julianne Hough, tough call.  Loved the hair,  loved the dress.  

But, she looks like a bird.  A gorgeous bird, but a bird.

 Love Lena, love her off the wall choices since she is such a hipster kinda gal.  Loved the plum colour, thought the tailoring and fit was exceptional, HOWEVER, thought the dress was a little 'old' for her and would have loved to seen a less full skirt, or above all, something with a print.

Nicole Kidman in this black column with cutouts and the neckline detailing was effortless Hollywood glam.  Dresses like this is why I love fashion! 

Megan Fox, simple, like the trend was, however, liked the contrast of the dark clutch and the light earrings.  Something simple to emulate in the real world.

 Taylor Swift has definitely all grown up.  This dress is a ladies dress.  Not to old for her at all it is a refreshing change from the simple sequin dresses she normally wears.  The sheer side up the leg was super under stated sexy.  I liked it.

Oh Zooey Deschanel, I get it, your a girly girl.  Enough.  Ok.  I liked the dress, I liked her simple ponytail but the pearls REALLY!?!?!  I would have liked something heaver, something modern for a necklace, something chunky.  Liked, but very MEH about it.

 Tina Fey, GREAT CHOICE!!  One of the ONLY dresses of the night to POP off the red carpet.  Chic and the hair, amazing!  Ladies take note, this hemline is EVERYWHERE lately; long enough to just be short enough..lol  Watch for it.

 

Emily Blunt is sexy in gold lace with cutouts.  What I loved most about this look is the pink earrings.  Normally someone would have done the colour in the clutch but these 

pink earrings stand out great on the gold canvas.

 

We get it Eva Longoria being Latin makes you extra sexy! lol  Well she hit up all the notches on the trend scale, cutouts, black, lace and well that leg!  With legs like that I mean you can't lose!

Anne Hathaway was in Les Miserables... and well this dress is les miserable!  SOOOO boring!!!  For a gal who takes high fashion and makes it look accessible, this bored me to tears in all white.  Heck a bag, a lip, anything would have jazzed this up.  Hope she does better at the Oscars.

Drum Roll... my pick for worst dressed.
dum
dum
dum....

Halle Berry.

The leg and the cutout on the hip are the only thing this dress has going for it.  It looks like a really bad sari.  The colour and print are dreadful, and her hair, did not suit the look.  UGH, don't even want to talk about it anymore!....lol
